Some times ago I published a twit about the awesome work of Paul Porcelli, a New Jersey's gentleman I was lucky enough to be introduced to by mutual friends. He has traveled the United States on an endeavor to capture and preserve all of the remaining Saint celebrations of Italian communities. They were about 3,000 one century ago and they are a little more than 300 now. He filmed 314 of them already. That means hudreds of hours of professional footage. And a few vintage clips. And about 3,600 photos.
Paul is working at a DVD and a book. I think he knows just everything about those feasts. At least this is the impression that I received listening at his comment during a private preview of his "When the Saints Come Marching Out", a 75-minute demo movie, which shows the astonishing variety of Italian-American feasts.
He said he is available for presentation, so, with his authorization, here it is his e-mail address: IAFeastman@yahoo.com. Contact him!
